I used MSO2K7 for a few months and then bailed out and went back to 2003, primarily for ease of use. The ribbon is a cool idea but not having the option to use the old menus really blows. I also really dislike how they changed the default formatting for spreadsheets and documents. I've been playing around with the SharePoint Server and most of the really cool functions depend on the use of the newer formats... So irritating. What am I supposed to do, run out and upgrade the 200+ Pc's I oversee and then reprocess the thousands of sheets and docs already out there? It's just dumb to not include tools for earlier versions of Office, and if anything it makes me want to deploy Open Office that much more.

I've been using Office 2007 for about 5 months and I have to say I really hate the ribbon interface with a passion. By biggest gripe is that you need to use the mouse to do everything! You can't turn them off and they eat up tons of screen real estate. Office 2007 breaks just about GUI style guideline ever written, including Microsoft's own. I would go back to 2003 but I've got customers to support running 2007. -- Paul [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
